OUR JAPANESE SAILOR FRIENDS.

A SUGGESTION.

To mix Enitor or the "Hongkong Thagrarit."

DEAR SIR-l'ermit me to invoke the favour of the good offices and influence of your journal in behalf of an effort to extend a friendly hand to the crews of the Japanese warships now in part. The Asana and Takasago represented our King's Ally at the Coronation Review, and Admirál juin, and his officers were the recipients of special tokens of friendship and cordiality at the hands of our sovereign, King Edward VII. Why should not Hang kong extend a greeting to the crews of these vessels and thus open the way for the crews of other Japanese warships visiting this port to have some consideration extended to' thein; some decent place to go to

If there was a Mayor of Hongkong, or a few 'A'denuen a réception of some kind could easily be arranged, but as longkong is "run" at present it is not a simple matter to get anything of the kind done; and as everybody seems to wait for everybody to take the initiative the public naturally look to the Press for a cue.

I would suggest that the Boldiers' and Sailors Institute or some kindred body should arrange to entertain the "jolly tars of the Asama and Takasugo to ten some afternoon in one of their spacious meeting-rooms. It wouldn't cost very much, and the courtesy would assuredly be accepted by the plucky" Britons of the Orient" in the kindly spirit that pronipted it.

If it is suggested that it would be most diffic lt and tedious to entertain the Japanese because of their lack of knowledge of English,
